LOUISIANA ELECTION,

The Democratic Governor McEnery
and Senator Eustis of Louisiana, who
represent the opinions of the party,
plainly urge that Democratic success
at the coming election in that state
means the political subjugation of the
negro race. "That is the question"
say the Democratic leaders, which
we have to determine in the election"
BY the results of the war the negroes
of the South were made free. By ar.
ticle Is, section /, of the amendments
to the constitution, it is declared
"The right of the citizens of the United
States to vote shall noa be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by
any state, on account of race. color or
previous condition Of servitude. Here
10 a bold declaration of bourbon
Democracy that the negroes must be
DISTINGUISHED in defiance to the consti-
tuition, which is no less than rebellion
against the government. Yet when
the colored voters are driven from the
polls of election by violence, and the
wrong severely commented upon by
Northern newspapers, they at once
are accused by their Democratic cotem-
poraries of waving the bloody shirt"
and keeping alive the sectional spirit
between the North and South.

THE FUTURE OF IRELAND.

The prospective condition OF ire
land has quite recently assumed a
more encouraging outlook. For
months prior it could not be said that
the affairs of Ireland were improving
Quite recently Mr.. Gladstone has been
called upon to address large meeting
in London to define explicitly his pur-
poses in respect to the future govern.
ment for Ireland. The meeting was
composed of different shades OF
opinion. Mr.. Gladstone stated his
policy at length, and it appears his
views were generally satisfactory. In
asking for home government for Ire
land he did not intend full separation
from England. He said the power of
the Imperial parliament over Ireland
must be retained; independence for
Ireland could not reasonably he ex-
pected. British supremacy over Ire
land was power that could be danger
ously exercised, but the magnanimity
of parliament must be relied upon
Mr.. Gladstone said that the efforts of
the Liberal party should be for peace.
1t was for Ireland's best interests to
be at peace with England. Ireland is
poor and England is rich. English
capital is needed to develop the abund-
ant natural resources of Ireland.
Capital would not flow to Ireland for
investment while Irish affairs are in
an unsettled state. Ireland has capital
in labor and natural resources. Eng
land has the money to set the indus
tries in motion, to the natural advan-
tage of both countries. He therefore
maintained that the primary object to
be sought was peace, and whatever
means tend to that end should be en-
couraged.

THE PRESIDENCY.

1t now being reduced to tolerable
certainty that Mr.. Cleveland will be
put in nomination for reelection, il
very naturally creates activity in the
Republican ranks in casting about for
proper candidate to place in the field.
Republicans can expect no easy victory.
Most of the prominent Republicans in
office on the incoming of the admins
tration of President Cleveland have
been displaced, and in most cases
active Democratic politicians put in
their places. Although the civil SER
vice rules, which the administration of
Mr.. Cleveland promised to observe,
forbids those holding Office under the
government from taking part in politi-
cal elections, these rules have been dis
regarded, and the new office-holders
have contrived in various ways to
evade the laws which the admlnistra-
tion was pledged to respect. This new
swarm of officials, judging from the
past, will be marshaled to lead on
Democratic voters atlthe next Presi-
Dental election. It does not meet the
case by saying that offce-holders nnder
former administrations were active
politicians. The Inauguration of civil
service begun before the election of
Cleveland, and was endorsed by him
on his entering upon the Office of
President

EPISCOPAL CONGRESS.

This Congress, composed of clergy
men and lay members OF the Protestant
Episcopal church, convened at Louis
vile. KY, or Oct ~, and continued in
session some days. Representatives
from various states were in attendance.
The questions for consideration before
the Congress were not voted on: the
Congress did not assume any church
authority. Among the subjects which
drew out the most animated discus
sions, one was the change of name,
Protestant Episcopal, and the other
was the authority for apostolical sue
cession. Both of these subjects met
with wide divergence of sen iment.
Some strong points were made in favor
of change of name. The word d" Pro
testant," it was declared, expressed 9
universal negative, the church was 6
positive. The present name brought
the church into bad company, anG
confused it with anarchists and agnos
tics. On the subject of apostolical sue
cession the debate was particularly in
teresting. Several clergymen spoke
with much earnestness against The
doctrine of apostolical succession
claiming it to be unscriptural, thu
hinderance to christian unity, which il
SO much desired, and that the idea 81

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

All the country has before this been
informed that the President completed
his circle of travel on Saturday last,
arriving in Washington on exact time,
as dxed in the programme three weeks
before. Mr.. Cleveland and wife
travelled during their absence from the
National capital 1900 miles, passing
through seventeen states and were
seen by how many millions of people
lis matter of only wild conjecture.
Whether the President has gained more
friends than he has lost in making his
extended tour is a debatable question.
Whether the exhibition of himself has
won or lost him admirers is difficult to
say. Some who saw the President for
the first time declare themselves highly
pleased with his personal appearance;
others express disappointment, and in
sist he has coarse and vulgar face.
Judging from the expressions heard, it
is doubtful whether, upon the whole,
the admirers of his person have been
increased or diminished. He has done
much public speaking while on his
tour, but it is a problem whether this
has helped his prospects for renomin-
alton. He doubtless did his best to
avoid trenching on political grounds,
but that was almost unavoidable.
Speech making from neutral stand
point on matters Of national interest is
most delicate task for office-holders
or expectants, and it is hardly pre-
sumable that he escaped giving offence
to some old political friends. AnG now
since Mr.. Cleveland is back again, the
most important question politically is,
has he left any evidence behind him of
having made new acquisition of
supporters? There is rather an omin-
GUS silence in answer to this question

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES

A citizen who sat in the office of a
real estate dealer for an hour the other
day heard him say to man who came
in to place house and lot in his hands
"Tll put it on my list at $5, 900, but
frankly tell you that it is $500 too
high. If you get $500 you are selling
to good advantage"
Well, do your BEST" was the reply.
In about an hour party came in and
said he was looking for house and lot
worth 81 900 and the dealer turned to
the one he had last listed and said
II haven't any as cheap as that, but
here is something for $4,000, which I
think will suit you, and I give you my
word it is one of the greatest bargains in

members of the church were dis

groceries are not quite so high. Butter
and eggs are generally high. Butter
now 80 cents, eggs 40 cents. Furniture
and agricultural implements have to
pay transportation from the east, as but
little is made here. Fuel is dear, but
We do not need much for heating pur-
poses.
Outside of rent and fuel the cost of
living is not much more here than at
the east. Fruit and vegetables are much
cheaper here than there. Lumber,
common, $50 per NJ. Should be much
less, but the great demand and monop-
oily keep the price up. Horses and cows
about 30 per cent higher than there.
Other stock about as there. Labor as
follows: Bricklayers and plasterers, 50

for nine hours laborers on ranches,
$25 to $35 per month in the city, 81
to 8. 30 per day of 10 hours. Board
and lodging is from s. up. Can get
good day board for $3.50. Meals at the
restaurants 25 cents. A house that in

would easily rent here for $25, and
probably more.

facts in relation to the marvellous
growth of WATERFOWL, which is but a
specimen of the wonderous progress of
the Territory of Dakota.
He says Watertown is a place of
seven years growth, situated in as
ine rolling prairie country as any in
Southern Wisconsin. It has 4, 900
population and FIVE railroads in actual
operation. These represent the North.
western, Rock Island and Manitoba sys-

Chicago, st. Paul and Duluth, rival
parallel lines running to each of these
cities. Somes if not all, of these roads
will build shops at Watertown. 1t has

KINGSTON, ONT, Oct. 3d. The

which says that the mightiest weapon
in the conflict against the great nation

youth. But the change in the drink
ing customs of the people is wonderful
when contrasted with over half
century ago. The first movements to
restrain the traffic in spurious liquors
were met with the same violent re-
sistance as those TO obtain peaceable
hearing in respect to the wrongs of
slavery. Temperance lecturers were
treated with indignities. Those who
signed the temperance pledge in early
times were ignored in society and
adjudged unfit to hold Office. Their
property was often molested and tenn
perance meetings broken up. rSfnisters
and churches were opposed to temper
ance organizations and used their in
fluence against them. 1t is historical
fact that in the year 1880. in well
